        A world-class experience with expert support!
        First-class, five-star service from Giorgi behind the scenes and Givi as our guide/driver during the trip. We loved every minute of it and learned so much about these wonderful countries. Giorgi and Givi were a great team ensuring we were well taken care of. Givi asked for feedback each day so any adjustments could be made, but he also got to know us, and Giorgi and Givi ensured the last stop on our tour (the family winery at an artist's home) would be the best possible experience. We feel lucky to have found them online and will recommend them to all of our friends and family. The pictures we posted have had several people adding Georgia to their travel bucket lists, and asking for our itinerary because it was so amazing.

        Wonderful and Beautiful Countries of Georgia and Armenia
        This wonderful private tour took us to the most beautiful towns in both Georgia and Armenia. We did the city tours plus all the mountain towns. Hotels were excellent with breakfast. Daily lunches were provided at various restaurants, wineries and family homes. They picked you up and dropped you off as requested. They accommodated the various meal restrictions we had. The guides were knowledgeable of the areas we visited and got us there safely. Driving in these 2 countries are challenging. If I had questions before or during the tour, they always go back to us with an answer. They provided WiFi throughout the tour. This tour is highly recommended.

        Great private tour!!
        Private tour is how I always choose my tours. This tour was by private car and some walking. Giorgi was excellent. Very knowledgeable and had great conversations. He showed me everything I wanted to see via the tour. Tbilisi has so much history, great scenery and great vibes! Time well spent with Giorgi. Thank you for the great experience!

        Loved it
        My Vashlovani national park tour was a great experience! Dito had the job of being my guide, and he did it very well - he was punctual, easy to hang out with and and most of all, showed me around the park environment telling me interesting details and made additional stops if I wanted to take pictures. Bonus points for the fact that he didn't make me get get car sickness whilst driving, which happens quite often :D I definitely recommend this tour, a big thank you for the staff for making it happen!

        Hidden treasures of Tbilisi
        Luca was a great tour guide and he showed me many interesting places in the city that I would not have seen or found on my own because they were somewhat hidden within the city. It was a private tour (which I was surprised about). It was great to spend little or more time in the places that interested me. It was a lot of walking so please wear comfortable shoes. I was so tired, but it was worth it to see everything in the city.

        Incredible
        Fantastic tour…!! Wine, Brandy, Chacha… Just incredible! 10 hours valuably spent! The lunch was also the best we have had in the last few days in Georgia - modest but original. Absolutely worth your buck!

        One Perfect Tour!
        George or should I say respectfully “Giorgi” offers a very professional and well timed tour. He is punctual and very knowledgeable as well as caring and kind. My wife and I experienced true Georgian hospitality with George and we highly recommend his tour. It really is the only way to appreciate this beautiful city by someone who really knows everything and did not mind answering any questions we asked. If we wanted to stop to try some food or drink, which was not on our tour program, it was not a problem and we really appreciated this. His tour was so interesting and organised and everything he offered was done with perfection. If you want a no problem tour than this is it! Thank you once again for a perfect day.

        Best hiking trip in Tbilisi
        With the fall leaves, the sound of the river following the whole way, and the spectacular waterfall at the end, it is a definite must do trip in Georgia. There is two ways to go so we took the river walk there and then followed the path through the forest on the return. Both we beautiful and fun. The tour guide was exceptional and made the drive great as well!

        Unforgettable visit of Sabaduri Forest (which is not mostly covered in other tour) with amazing Gudurai Experience
        Unforgettable vacation and this wasn’t possible without having Georgi as my trip advisor. I feel lucky to arrange my excursion through him as he was having in-depth knowledge about the places we were exploring, nice and clean Lexus which make you feel special than others and last his soft spoken and polite English which you can easily understand. Getting English speaking guide was a challenging but thanks a lot that we booked through this tour.

        Introductory tours don’t get any better than this
        Tako guided the tour I took, and it was wonderful to go walking with her! The tour schedule is well balanced: a mix of treats (fresh bakery bread + some quiet time tasting superior wines), a sense of historical Tbilisi and a sense of the present and future city. This tour was like having a look around with a funny and knowledgeable friend; I really recommend it.

        Magical Tsalka Canyon with the hanging diamond viewing platform
        We heard about the new diamond-shaped glass viewing platform across Tsalka canyon as we were planning our trip to Georgia - [it was opened just in June 2022], and we knew we had to go there! Tsalka canyon by itself is gorgeous, but the new viewing platform makes it a unique and almost magical experience. You can walk across the bridge [partially made of glass], to the diamond-shaped platform in the middle which is entirely made of glass and affords amazing views of the canyon below. Once you've taken all of the instagramable pics from the viewing platform, the walk down into the canyon and back is equally gorgeous. At the bottom there is a series of waterfalls which are peaceful, and you can see the diamond platform from the bottom. Our guide from Select Georgia tours had excellent English, and was extremely patient as we kept stopping to take pictures [and rest!] on the hike down and back from the canyon. I highly recommend Tsalka canyon and Select Georgia tours is the best!

      I visited Samtavisi cathedral that has great history and ornaments on the wall, sioni church in ateni that simply surprised me with its history and importantance. Joseph Stalin museum reminded me soviet times. At the end we visited pagan cave town near Gori. Tour to Uplistsikhe was memorable experience. Great company.
